Thank-you Sam for the information. I shall use a SATA disc instead of CF. I removed all instances of the pcre and used the pkg_add command to get the OpenBSD package instead. I think make got this far this time. * I set the linker like this, export CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/include" LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/lib -L/usr/local/include" * I ran configure with this & the configure completes, ./configure --enable-mimetypes=/var/www/conf/mime.types --with-paranoid-smtpext --with-gnutls --enable-hardtimeout=2700 --enable-softtimeout=1200 --with-cachedir=/var/webmail-logincache * Later the make bombs out with this, ./config.status --file=imapd.8 config.status: creating imapd.8 ./config.status --file=imapd.html config.status: creating imapd.html Using $< in a non-suffix rule context is a GNUmake idiom (line 857 of Makefile) *** Error code 2 Stop in /home/s/courier-0.62.1/imap (line 353 of Makefile). *** Error code 1 Stop in /home/s/courier-0.62.1 (line 345 of Makefile). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ courier-users mailing list courier-users@lists.sourceforge.net Unsubscribe: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/courier-users
